Building Better Businesses for Growth, Investment or Exit.

We work at the intersection of strategy, people and performance to develop leaders who deliver results.

Welcome to Thinking Leaders

Welcome to Thinking Leaders, where leadership capability becomes commercial advantage. With nearly three decades working alongside CEOs, founders, boards and executive teams, we understand the real pressure of leadership — the complexity of people, the weight of decision-making, the relentless drive for performance, growth, investment and results.

Businesses don’t grow — leaders do. That’s why our work sits at the intersection of strategy, people and performance – to help organisations overcome challenges, seize growth opportunities and build the leadership capability required for scale, succession, investor readiness and sustainable success.

Our mission is simple — develop confident, resilient, accountable leaders who build thriving cultures and deliver measurable outcomes.
We strengthen mental fitness, self-leadership, communication, wellbeing and execution so leaders and teams can perform at pace without burning out or breaking alignment. Through tailored programs, coaching and advisory support, we unlock individual and team potential, sharpen thinking and decision-making, improve culture, trust and accountability, lift performance, clarity, productivity and motivation, and enhance communication and leadership effectiveness

Partnering with us equips your leaders with the capability to navigate complexity, inspire their people and drive results — while building an organisation where talent stays, teams thrive, and performance becomes cultural. If you’re ready to elevate leadership, culture and commercial outcomes — you’re in the right place.

Our Senior Leadership team at Accoras recently had the privilege of participating in the Thinking Leaders Program, under Linda's expert guidance. Our primary objective was to bring consistency to our leadership team, ensuring a unified approach to leadership through both language and action. One of the most impactful aspects of Linda's program was her emphasis on self-discovery as the foundation of effective leadership. Through her expertly crafted program, Linda encouraged us to delve deep into our own behaviours, unpacking the reasons behind our actions. Linda's patience, depth of knowledge, and non-judgmental approach created a safe and supportive environment for us to explore and challenge our previous thinking and experiences, laying the foundations for personal and professional growth. The impact of Linda and the Thinking Leaders Program on our leadership team at Accoras has been significant. We are now equipped with a shared framework, resulting in enhanced effectiveness and success in our organisation.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work together this year and really appreciate all that you have brought to the events. We have had excellent feedback from Sydney / Melbourne and Brisbane with increasing numbers and a great vibe!

I have had the pleasure of working with Linda Scott for the past 18 months and I can confidently say that their coaching has had a profound impact on both my personal and professional growth. Linda has a unique ability to inspire positivity and encourage individuals to think and speak above the line. Her guidance on aligning personal and business values, defining purpose in business, and setting achievable goals has been invaluable. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to develop their leadership skills and achieve their full potential.

We must be great leaders and to continually grow to achieve our vision of ‘Keeping our Generations Growing Strong’. With Linda’s support, we have started the journey by “setting the tone at the top” with our executives as we roll out tailored leadership development across Wuchopperen. We know this is part of a lifetime commitment and we are confident that Linda is with us for the long term which provides us with the much needed structure and support to succeed and also gives us great comfort.”

I have recently completed Linda's one on one coaching, and WOW what a transformation! Linda helped me to grow into the Leader I have always wanted to become. Linda helped me take accountability for myself, recognise when I was not living in alignment with who I wanted to be and ultimately has helped me to level-up in all areas of my life- because how we do one thing is how we do everything. Thank you so much Linda, I highly HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone wanting to truly think like a leader! I am excited to continue my growth journey with Linda in 2023!

Linda has been amazing to work with, would highly recommend her as a coach - particularly to couples in business together as her approach encompasses more than just business strategy, but relationship dynamics as well, which is so important as we all know that business can be compromised / at risk if the relationship is not harmonious!

Linda's programs and engagements though Thinking Leaders cut through the noise and dross of many business coaching consultancies to deliver actual both short and long term value. The insights, revelations, and skills acquired through engagements with Thinking Leaders are real and entirely applicable to business and personal life. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Being the director of two companies can be a lonely existence at times. I've attended good quality networking communities such as Qld Leaders and other educational and stimulating events to try and bridge the gap between operations and being a leader. This is where Linda's Thinking Leaders course comes in. Linda guided me through a process of self discovery. It wasn't always a pleasant process but the self realisations were significant. Getting to know myself in greater detail has given me confidence when dealing with adversity and some of the challenges of running a business. Being in business is never easy. Linda has provided me with a framework of personal conduct to ease this burden.

Linda with Thinking Leaders brings a whole new genre to the world of business and how you are able to look at yourself to achieve your best outcomes. Linda is thoroughly professional and challenges the way you think about business to make the most of your opportunities. I highly recommend her business coaching skills.

Linda starting working with me after I had been through enormous change, both personally and professionally. Linda really made the effort to understand my own personality and background first which then meant she could provide proper and meaningful advice and support, and hold me to account for making the changes needed. The whole experience was exceptional, and in the end gave me fresh energy, a clearer mind, and renewed focus on what was most important to me in both business and life generally.

By enabling the Executive team to work through the roadblocks and speed bumps that can arise with progressive change, Linda opened up ways of working through these while keeping the end goals in the forefront. AKIPS has benefited tremendously from working with Linda. The Executive Team has worked with Linda, both individually and in a group setting, and cannot recommend her enough. Struggling with rapid group and staff restructure, the Executives needed some guidance on how to navigate through, while still running a thriving and busy company, and continuing to manage staff and client needs. Linda definitely made this transition and process smoother, with more structure and stability then thought possible.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to complete one-on-one training sessions through my workplace with Thinking Leaders. The training that I undertook really helped with both my professional and personal development and provided me with a different view on how to approach and tackle different life challenges within the workplace and at home. Linda was an incredible mentor and guided me through some good and tough times which allowed me to develop new skills and shift my mindset to becoming a better leader within my workplace and home life. I highly recommend the training in a group setting or one-on-one with Thinking Leaders.

I have recently completed a 12 Week Challenge Group Coaching Program and Online Course run by Linda Scott of Thinking Leaders. I found the program is insightful, designed to challenge your thinking, your behaviour to ultimately increase your self-awareness. You need vision, the right mindset, achievable goals, as by having a better understanding of who you are, you can influence and lead others to greater achievements. Even though this is an online program the group discussions were robust, engaging, providing real opportunities to learn from other people's experiences. I have owned and operated businesses of various sizes over the past 30 plus years and I am still learning. It is without any hesitation to recommend the 12-week Challenge Group Coaching program to any individual or business leader who has a real desire to inspire and guide others.

I recently completed the Thinking Leaders 12 week Self Leadership Challenge. I found the program incredibly valuable both personally and professionally. The content is relevant for anyone who is looking to take charge of any/all facets of their life. As a facilitator, Linda brings wisdom and genuine experience. She is very personable, authentic and professional. I have gained systems and strategies that will be useful both now and into the future.

To say my coaching sessions with Linda were life-changing is an understatement. Linda's coaching style felt so safe that I was able to fully 'lean-in' to the process, with many sessions taking unexpected turns into areas that I didn't even realise there were issues holding me back. Linda's work gave me clarity, focus and a deep understanding of myself and how I choose to go forward in my life, both professionally and personally. Linda, you have a very special gift and I am so grateful for your work. Thank you.

I have recently completed the Group Coaching Program with Thinking Leaders, and each session we tackled topics that were relevant and thought provoking to get you focussing on your mindset and awareness. The group setting enabled valuable and authentic insights and perspectives. It as a fabulous group and brilliantly lead by Linda. I highly recommend the program!
